Customizing Information on Zendesk Ticket Tabs
Can I customize the information shown on Zendesk ticket tabs?
Currently, it's not possible to customize the primary text on Zendesk ticket tabs. The design intentionally displays the requester's name, as the Agent Workspace focuses on live conversations. This setup is considered more useful for agents than showing the ticket subject.
However, agents can still view the ticket subject by hovering over the tab. While many users have requested the ability to choose between displaying the requester's name or the ticket subject, this feature is not yet available. For more information, you can visit theZendesk support page.
